Meet Patty Mayonnaise and CarrotTop , two adorable kittens are the best of friends, and they’re hoping to find a family who will welcome them both.

**Patty** was born on the streets of Indianapolis, but she was lucky enough to be taken in at just a few weeks old, along with her siblings. She quickly became social and made fast friends with **CarrotTop**, who was brought to ARPO as a tiny kitten, just 7-10 days old. CarrotTop was found alone with an injured leg, but after joining Patty’s litter, the two became inseparable. CarrotTop’s leg was eventually amputated, but that hasn’t slowed her down one bit—she now runs like she’s got new shoes!

Patty and CarrotTop love to wrestle, run, play, and snuggle up for naps together. They’ve seen all their friends go to forever homes in pairs, and now it’s their turn! Could you be the one to give them the loving home they deserve?

Both kittens are spayed, microchipped, dewormed, and up to date on vaccinations.

🥕If you’re ready to add this playful, loving bonded pair to your family, apply to adopt at Adoptarpo.org

Meet Brandy, a 70-pound German Shepherd looking for her forever home. She was found as a stray and is now ready to be part of a loving family.

Brandy is playful and smart, loving belly rubs, car rides, and playing with squeaky toys. She’s housebroken, crate trained, and is learning commands quickly. Brandy is loyal and affectionate but needs gentle handling because she can startle easily—no choke or chain collars for her, please! She enjoys meeting new people but may need a slower introduction to other dogs.

If you think Brandy could be the perfect addition to your family, apply at Adoptarpo.org 🐶

Once upon a time, a group of extraordinary ARPO kittens and cats eagerly waited for their forever homes. Each had a special talent and a heart full of love, hoping that National Cat Day would bring them a family.

Ollie, the cuddliest kitten, said, "I promise the best snuggles—can I come home with you?"
Linda Flynn-Fletcher, a gentle mom, asked, "I'm ready for some pampering. Could you be the one to spoil me?"
Curious Padma wondered, "Do you have a place with running water? I’d love to watch it with you!"
Playful Albus offered, "I’ll bring fun into your life. Can we be best friends?"
Clever Janey Lane wagged her tail, saying, "I can play fetch like a dog! Want to play every day?"

Chill Freddie Falcon purred, "I’ll bring peace into your life—do you have a sunny spot for me?"
Barney Blackbird asked, "Need an office buddy? I’ll keep you company while you work."
Sweet Pepperjack whispered, "Can I be the gentle kitten that brightens your day?"
Tiny Tito purred loudly, "Will you let me fill your home with happiness?"
And Blake rolled onto his back, asking, "Can I get some tummy rubs, please?"

Each kitten and cat is putting on their best purrs, asking to be adopted. They all hoped to find their forever homes, where they could share their love and joy.

Could one of these adorable kittens or cats be the perfect addition to your family? Visit adoptarpo.org to apply and make their dreams come true!

Adopt A Pair! 💕 Periwinkle and his sister, Penumbra, share a very special bond. When separated, they cry until reunited. Periwinkle and Penumbra love to wrestle and chase each other, and they haven't met a toy they didn't like. When they aren't busy playing, they enjoy cuddling with you and sitting on your lap, but soon they're off on a new adventure. Both are sweet kittens who love being petted and don't mind being carried or placed in a carrier. Penumbra is the trailblazer of the pair. Curious and adventurous, she can't resist exploring new territory, always followed closely by Periwinkle. Penumbra is very fast and can dart out a door, sometimes from clear across the room. Periwinkle, on the other hand, is a lover who purrs as soon as you pick him up. He might even give you a kiss or rub his face on your cheek.

Their journey to ARPO was marked by both tragedy and good fortune. Their momma cat, who had been doing her best to care for them, was hit by a car, leaving the kittens to fend for themselves. An 11-year-old girl found and cared for them until she asked ARPO to take over and find them good homes. You will love Penumbra with her white bib and boots, and Periwinkle has beautiful markings and the cutest little spots on his belly!

Periwinkle and Penumbra need to be adopted together. Their birthdate is 5/13/24.

Dawn is a gorgeous tuxedo kitten with a striking black and white coat with gorgeous whiskers that makes her stand out. Full of energy and curiosity, she loves to play with her kitten friends, darting around and chasing toys with boundless enthusiasm. Her playful antics are sure to bring a smile to anyone's face.

After a day of fun and games, Dawn has a soft and snuggly side. She adores curling up with her human, purring softly as she enjoys some quiet, cozy moments. Her affectionate nature makes her a delightful companion who balances playtime with tender cuddles.

Dawn thrives in the company of other active kittens and needs a feline friend to share her adventures. If you're considering adopting two kittens, Dawn would be overjoyed to join her best friend Willow in their forever home. Together, they promise to fill your life with love, laughter, and the heartwarming bond of two inseparable pals.

Dawn is spayed, utd on vaccines, microchipped and negative for FIV /FeLV. She’s being fostered on the southside of Indianapolis. Estimated birthday of May 18,2024

Here are some of the sweet faces we've been helping through a very tough kitten season. ARPO has had 6 cases of panleukopenia this season (the cat equivalent of dog parvo), and right now, 5 of our foster homes are in need of cleaning supplies. This illness is so contagious that if items can't be safely sanitized, they have to be thrown away. This means we've had to toss blankets, carriers, cat trees, playpens, and more.

We’re asking for help to replenish these supplies. We’ve added many needed items to our wishlist, including baby food, which is sometimes the only thing very sick kittens will eat. These supplies are crucial for us to safely welcome new fosters into our homes in the future.

Thank you for helping our very dedicated fosters. Most, if not all, of these kittens wouldn't be here without them.❤️

Duke and Beau are looking for their forever homes! 💕
We are Irish Wolfhound puppies with hearts as big as our paws. We are affectionate rescue pups who love nothing more than being by your side. We were rescued from a kill shelter and have been fostered in the same house since we were approximately 10 weeks old. We both are mischievous (hide your shoes!), playful puppies, but also have a calm and relaxed demeanor and love to snuggle up with our people. We love all toys, especially anything that squeaks or when we can play tug-of-war with someone. We are both ALL PUPPY and will need some patience learning a new house, but both of us are willing and eager to listen and learn. Our foster home has several animals, and we're great with people of all ages, and we really love the company of other dogs.
We really want to be part of our forever 'pack' and will learn how our new pup siblings (or cat) siblings like to play. We like to have our ears scratched, stealing items off the kitchen counter (which we're not quite tall enough, but soon...The vet said at our 13 week appointment we will easily be a 100lb, very tall Irish Wolfhound mix.
We're doing my best to be potty trained and go outside. We are crate trained, and usually go to our crates to nap. Our foster home has a doggy door and a fenced-in backyard, and we have learned to use the door to let myself out and go to the bathroom. We are praised often, given a treat and catching on very quickly. We have recently started walking more with a leash and get excited when we go to new places. We are healthy, neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and being fostered in Brownsburg. Our birthday is 3/24/24

Mara is a sweet and gentle cat looking for a kind and loving family to call her own. Initially scared at the shelter, Mara has been blossoming beautifully in her foster home. She purrs constantly, " meeps " when you walk in the room, and enjoys pets while lounging on her flower tower. Mara gets along wonderfully with other kitties and craves a peaceful, serene life. She particularly loves butt scritches and does a delightful "elevator butt" when she gets them.

Her gentle nature and loving personality make her the perfect companion for a tranquil and affectionate household. If you're ready to provide a peaceful and loving home for this precious girl, Mara is waiting to meet you! She is spayed, UTd on vaccines, and tested negative for FIV/FelV. Litterbox trained. Her birthday is 6-1-23

* NEED MET * Thank you Wendie Shreve !!! ❤️

Hey friends,

We wanted to share a glimpse into one of our foster’s current quarantine setups for her kittens diagnosed with Panleukopenia. She’s put in a lot of effort to construct a space for them, but all the hard work she’s already doing to take care of these little ones shouldn’t be any harder than it needs to be.

Right now, the kittens are confined to a small playpen, but with a gate, they could roam freely in their space while they undergo treatment. We’ve added a gate to our wishlist and would be incredibly grateful if someone could gift it to her. Plus, there’s a coupon available!
